The 40 best mountain restaurants in the world

La Sorgente, Madesimo, Italy

When in Lombardy it’s wise to eat and drink like a local. They gave the world the best air-dried beef, bresaola, a great red wine called Chiavennasca (aka Nebbiolo) and pizzoccheri, an age-old Alpine dish. It’s Italy’s answer to tartiflette – think buckwheat ribboned pasta, cubed potato, butter, green cabbage, and Fontina and Parmesan cheeses. This is available in one fine meal at La Sorgente, just off the Arlecchino piste. And the owner is happy to let you visit his collection of war weapons and combat uniforms in the basement.
